How a Retail Leader Hired Their New CEO 3x Faster

The Challenge

A leading retail company needed to hire a new CEO quickly to maintain business momentum. Traditional executive search firms quoted timelines of 12-16 weeks and fees exceeding $150,000. The board needed a faster solution that didn't compromise on candidate quality or experience.

The challenge was clear: find exceptional leadership talent, move quickly, and ensure a seamless candidate experience that would attract top-tier executives who weren't actively job hunting.
